Hey! Guess what? 'm uplaiding another short one-shot. This one might become longer in the future, I haven't really decided yet. Also, I know this is, like, scarily short, but I couldn't really think of anything else to put in the middle. I was just suddenly hit with the idea and had to write a story. I knew kind of what I wanted it to be about, and I knew how I wanted it to end. But... the rest I hadn't really figured out, and I couldn't really think of when I was writing. The result? An incredibly short story. Well have fun anyway.

Marinette felt her gut tightened as she watched Lila flirt with Adrien. Gosh! That girl was even worse than Chloe!

"Jeese, girl. Calm down!" Laughed her best friend, Alya. Marinette glared a Alya, teeth clenched in anger. All of a sudden, she gasped in pain and studied her hands. She had been clenching her fists so tightly that her nails had pierced the skin on the palms of her hands. Alya took her friends hands and studied them saying,

"See? You're just hurting yourself." Marinette sighed.

"I know, Als. It's just, she drives me crazy!"

It had been nearly one moth since the whole Volpina incident. Lila hated even the insect ladybug, and had started to dislike Cat Noir, too. She flirted relentlessly with Adrien, even though he made it very clear that he did NOT like her. And very clear that he liked Cat Noir and practically idolized ladybug. Marinette scoffed as she watched Lila flirt.

"Can't she see that she's making him uncomfortable!" She said, venting her anger unfairly on Alya.

"I know, girl, but there's nothing we can do about it."

"That's right." Said a voice from behind them. "There's nothing you can do about it."

Marinette turned to see Chloe standing there, watching Lila and Adrien in disgust.

"There is however," Chloe continued, "something I can do about it. My Adri-kins needs rescued from that- that horrible lying witch!"

"I hate to agree with you Chloe," Marinette started, "but you're right. He does need rescued. He's much too nice of a person to free himself from that… thing, so someone's going to have to do it for him."

"My thoughts exactly." Chloe replied, smugly. "And as much as I hate to ask for your help, this will require more than just Sabrina and I." And with that, Chloe shared her plan (or at least the beginning of it, she wasn't dumb enough to tell someone the entire plan before she knew they sided with her). "So." Chloe stated. "What do you say? You in?"

Marinette stared at Chloe for a second. Her gaze flickered to Alya, then to Sabrina, who were both watching the exchange with great interest. Then her gaze flickered down to Chloe's outstretched hand, before focusing again on Chloe's face.

"What do I say?" She asked, a hint of foreboding in her voice, staring Chloe straight in the eyes. Then she gave a sly smile and took Chloe's hand, sealing the deal with and stiff handshake. "I say, the enemy of my enemy… is my friend."
